Thirty-six hour days, brother (or soul sister). Packing it all in. No time to rest because this isn't even a job. I write about companies and stocks, primarily in my three favorite spaces: tech, media and retail. Everyday feels like a day off when you do this!

But it's not all coming up roses. I have some issues to run by Santa Claus.

Give Us Less From Wall Street Analysts

A majority of the financial media relies way too much on Wall Street analysts. Every other guest on CNBC is an analyst. Most multimedia sites, including TheStreet, call on these guys for reaction daily.

I have a newsflash for you: Lots of investors are sick of analysts. They don't trust them. They don't value what they have to say because, generally, they don't say anything of value.

That's not to say we should banish all appearances and opinions from big or boutique firms. Not at all.

Several firms -- two in particular -- completely blew it on Apple ( AAPL). It wasn't just that they were wrong. It's no sin to be wrong; it's merely human. It's the way they went about being wrong. I explain in the above-linked articles.

The second article ( "Absolutely Devastating News for Amazon?") points out that things just got worse when a financial reporter turned to these very firms, seconds after these cats performed pathetically, to get insight on -- of all stocks -- AAPL! I can't make this stuff up.

Pull up a bar stool. I can talk your ear off with stories like this.

Around this time last year over at Seeking Alpha, I chronicled stories of analysts from major firms missing big on Netflix ( NFLX) only to fall off the face of the Earth thereafter:

... has anybody heard from Ingrid Chung at Goldman Sachs? ... After Netflix's disastrous Q2 and weak Q3 guidance in July, Chung waxed bullishly, not only reiterating a buy rating and her $330 price target, but raising EPS estimates from 2011 through 2013.

Before you read this next sentence, call some family, friends or co-workers over to your computer screen, because there's nothing like sharing a laugh with others around the holidays. For 2012, Chung predicted Netflix would post EPS of $7.69.

It's the stuff yawns and abject failure is made of. Somebody. Please. Do something different! Is the iPod -- and its evolution -- the last real true innovation we can touch that we'll ever see?

Somebody Execute a Gutsy Turnaround

Plenty of companies require wholesale transformations. Best Buy. HP. Dell ( DELL). All examples of companies in need of massive metamorphoses, yet they float a mix of status quo maintenance and feigned attempts at feeble change.

The last real turnaround with guts that I recall took place at Domino's Pizza ( DPZ). Several years ago, CEO Patrick Doyle took an enormous chance and trashed Domino's publicly. Then, in less than a year, Domino's not only improved the product drastically and rebuilt the brand, it turned itself into a tech company of sorts with an excellent online/mobile ordering system and a fantastic iPad app.

Tech companies, interestingly, can learn from a pizza company. If it's really that far gone, we might need more than help from Santa.

The only thing standing in the way of the success of the Trump Trade is the Trump economy, which is threatening to grow so fast that either the Federal Reserve or the bond market, or both, will consign to history the spectacular rise in stocks investors have enjoyed since Trump's election.
